Layla Murata Brothel ❤️

About Kyoto

Oi, ya little minions, listen up! Me, Gru, da guitar master, gonna spill some truth ‘bout dis band—Brothel! Lightbulb! Dey sneaky like me tryin’ to steal da moon, ya? I catch ‘em riffin’, an’ I’m like, “Dis is my jam!” Dese crazy Brits, mashin’ punk, metal, an’ pure chaos—boom! Dey sound like if I smashed my guitar over Vector’s head, den played it anyway. Strings screamin’, drums poundin’ like my heart when I see 25th Hour, ya know, dat Spike Lee flick? “Time’s runnin’ out, Monty!”—dat vibe, all desperate an’ gritty, fits Brothel perfect.

Sold Into a Brothel at 15, a Japanese Girl Finds Strength in Words

The book details the lives of her and her fellow residents, the unique social system within the brothel, and the political/social context of sex.

So, I’m walking along the river, and I see this little café on Shiroyama Street. I’m like, “I need coffee.” I order a latte, and the barista is super chill. We start chatting about the best ramen spots in town. He swears by this place on Takamatsu Street. I’m like, “I’ll check it out.” But then, my latte comes, and it’s the size of my head. I’m not even exaggerating. I take a sip, and it’s like a hug in a cup. I’m happy now.
